The Diaspora Jews have been asleep for a generation. While basking in the educational and financial comfort that their parent and grandparent’s struggles provided- they conveniently decided to eschew their Jewish identity. By non- identifying as a Jew, By marrying non- Jewish women, by not standing with Israel or even knowing anything about it, except its name, by standing up for every single minority group except themselves, they have managed what?
To “fit in”? Their added self hatred is repugnant to those of us who know our worth. And instead of being vigilant to the realities of what it means to be a proud Jew in this world, they have chosen to scuttle away and appease the encroaching evil because after all they are “good Jews”( ie: self hating). Well it’s not working out very well now- is it? Stand up and fight! That is what any self respecting person of any sphere or religion does when monstrous evil seeps forward.
When I was a kid ....going back to so called "golden years " of NY Jewry, there were neighbors of Jewish ancestry whose religion was forms of marxism and atheism....so this is unfortunately not new. No Jewish content in their lives, and of course the lives of their children my playmates.
Can’t see any other solution but Aliyah. The rot is too entrenched and nothing is able to eradicate it. The neighbours may hate us in Israel but we can feel safe amongst our own there.
As a Christian, I take responsibility for this travesty. Christians, collectively known as The Church and the Body of Christ, have been asleep at the wheel for far too long. We have enjoyed peace and freedom in our blessed nation of the United States of America, which has led to complacency. We have a responsibility to be vigilant against such evil as antisemitism and the promulgation of Marxism and Islamic teaching in our schools. As a Christian, I love ALL people, including Muslims. However, Islam is not a religion of peace as is often stated. True Islam as is documented in the Quran and the Hadiths is incompatible with Judaism and Christianity. The United States of America was founded on Judeo-Christian values. Religious Jews and Christians, although we disagree on the Messiah, follow the same principles. We must be vigilant and oppose any attempt to allow sharia law into our schools and our governments even at the local levels. I sincerely pray for ALL people to come to know Jesus Christ as the Messiah. He calls us to love one another. He calls us to love our enemies and to pray for those who persecute us, and we should and I do. He also calls us to holiness and to stand up for what is right. We are to be courageous-not cowards. We are to speak the truth in love to all people, no matter the consequences. Jesus Christ was and is Jewish. All of His original apostles were Jewish. God chose the Jewish people through whom to send His Son, Jesus, into the world to provide ALL people a path to salvation through the free gift of grace. Jesus loves all people and wishes to draw all people to Himself and to salvation. He has come and will come again. May God have mercy on me and on all of us who have failed to stand up for Him.
It is a possibility, we all will be welcome in Israel, but for its survival it is important to fight for our space in the US. Millions of Jews live here, we are proud Americans and do not have to allow these things to happen anymore.
This is an incredibly difficult situation to have to deal with. But there seems to be repeated blatant violation of federal antidiscrimation laws. And there needs to be a federal investigation task force put together to examine all the school districts in America for blatant violation of federal antidiscrimation laws. This situation won't be easily corrected. But the arrests and the prosecutions should be publicized for maximum effect that antisemitism and violation of federal antidiscrimation laws are both not going to be allowed or tolerated. And people who make death threats need to be hunted down relentlessly and arrested just like with any death threat made to anyone. Law and order needs to be reinstituted when democracy is continually being threatened.
What we now have in America and the west in general amounts to muslim privilege. While the left fearmongers about Christian nationalism and insists on the separation of church and state, their silence over the teaching of islam in schools and privileging muslim dietary laws and prayer spaces exclusively for muslims in public schools, is deafening. Never mind the islam that's being taught are lies and historical revisionism. I'm sure they aren't teaching the history of violent muslim conquests and displacements and massacres of non-muslims throughout the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Europe. Massive Muslim immigration is a serious problem to which even the Republicans do not have the courage to address. We need to bar muslim immigration. As for American Jews, we need to stop being passive, frightened victims and learn from the Israelis how to fight for ourselves physically and otherwise in the fact of muslim aggression.
This is totally indicative of what most school districts across the country are experiencing right now. It’s real and it’s frightening and people need to vote wisely for their school board candidates. Good people need to step up and get elected. Like most people I never paid attention to school board elections but no more. This is absolutely critical to the future of public school education in this country.
This is all part of the agenda of the Islamists who are invading and destroying the western world. The reaction of “not wanting to offend those with different cultural values” is the exact reaction that is being taken. Any pushback and they cry “Islamophobia” and the apologetic reset occurs.
We need to continue our vigilance against all of the this by both Jews and Christians.
Very disturbing indeed. I recently saw something about the NY regents exam study guide that (once again) described Israel as settler colonialist bla bla bla, so it’s obviously been building long enough that high schoolers are expected to have mastered it! Here in Ontario, Canada, the school boards and teachers unions are all leaning heavily into “Nakhba Day” etc., and harassing Jewish students and teachers, though the Conservative government (unfortunately for all other causes) seems to be supportive of Jewish civil rights. Not good times.
First of all, I'm livid! I grew up I Long Island, raised my kids in New Jersey. I cannot even imagine . . . Anyway, "...one Jewish teacher who expressed objections to the presentation materials was ordered to get out by a high-ranking district official. A second Jewish teacher left the training in tears." Regarding this statement and all the rest that followed, it seems to me that the entire Jewish community has to get much more in your face. Kids from junior high up need to be taught how to counter every statement, which will of course disrupt classrooms, gladly; to walk out of lectures; to enter "meditation spaces" and start ravening, etc. etc. AND it all has to be documented and recorded and sent to every news outlet print and otherwise. Learn how to fight! (and it would't hurt, just to build confidence, to teach self defense).
Like you I'm furious. I like your approach too. "in your face" and "learn how to fight". Neither Jews nor Christians can sit back and meekly let this happen.
What an outrage...sheesh, an I thought it wuz rotten hearin' the free NYC summer lunch program supplied free Halal but not Kosher! U guys too, eh?
There's lotsa homeschoolers in LongIsland! many gatherin' for all sorts of fun activities, studies--I'd ditch da skools fer sure--we homeschooled all the way from K on up -- our youngest just finished HS an' gotta full ride ta college, zero regrets. We left NYShitty 2 years ago (dumpster fire!) but I'd say that L.I. ain't bad if yer homeschoolin'... inDUCKTRINEayshun is frightenin'.... who controls the schools controls the nation! (said nobuddy but they should have!)
In New York State, local boards of education (on Long Island there are 127) roll up to the state Department of Education. There is virtually no oversight on NYSED.
No question Jews and Christians face serious issues. With regard to school meals, I am sharing that I did learn that in 2018 NYC published a plan for a pilot program to serve kosher and halal school lunches. Some schools do apparently serve kosher meals. USDA supplies most of the federal dollars for school lunches although states may also contribute some.
I'm outraged by this. Like some of the rest of you, I favor a "stand and fight" approach. Isn't there a basis for a civil rights complaint here? One group is receiving special treatment that the others aren't. It was mentioned that the halal food was funded by tax money. Are those federal dollars? There is also the question of separation of church and state. I don't even live in New York but now I want answers. If federal tax money is used for halal food but not kosher , I want to complain to someone!
It started long ago funded by Qatar and Saudi. The American Jews were sleeping.
Regretfully some of them still are.
We Christians have been sleeping also.
No passes here re Qatar a d Saudis but the focus now should be on teachers and their unions and the college education departments seething w jew hatred. Where is Randi weingarten on this issue ( too busy re Ukraine or illegal aliens?)
Anyone, especially Jewish students in collages of K12 schools who are persecuted because of their religion can contact the Lawfare Project:
https://www.thelawfareproject.org/
Weingarten like her wife the rabbi emeritus of the "gay synagogue" is New Jewish Fund , J Street far left ....and that is what they promote.
Yes. They are who we said they are. And their values say it all.

Gilda - I agree 💯
When I was a kid ....going back to so called "golden years " of NY Jewry, there were neighbors of Jewish ancestry whose religion was forms of marxism and atheism....so this is unfortunately not new. No Jewish content in their lives, and of course the lives of their children my playmates.
Very unfortunate...and.. typical. But this has spawned a weak, naive and uneducated generation of "Jews".
Can’t see any other solution but Aliyah. The rot is too entrenched and nothing is able to eradicate it. The neighbours may hate us in Israel but we can feel safe amongst our own there.
Welcome home 🏡
Increase in home prices in Israel prevent many Jews from returning “home.” 😞

not too late to stand up! Jews and Christians need each other at this moment (we have always needed each other, but now more than ever). Unite!
💯
When the Messiah shall arrive or return, no matter, I guess that both Christians and Jews shall follow his guidelines.
Let's wait patiently and see what the future holds.
Till then, the Judeo Christian people should unite against the cult of death.
It is a possibility, we all will be welcome in Israel, but for its survival it is important to fight for our space in the US. Millions of Jews live here, we are proud Americans and do not have to allow these things to happen anymore.

https://www.algemeiner.com/2023/04/04/anti-israel-hate-spewed-by-speaker-at-michigan-high-school-and-hate-crimes-rise/ This is happening all over in many different ways. And the big-time, mainstream Jewish organizations remain mostly silent.
Thanks for including your article. Do you have any update on BHHS?
No update. I knew a parent from the school, and I asked, but I never found out anything after. And nothing was ever said publicly.
This is all part of the agenda of the Islamists who are invading and destroying the western world. The reaction of “not wanting to offend those with different cultural values” is the exact reaction that is being taken. Any pushback and they cry “Islamophobia” and the apologetic reset occurs.

Otherwise, we end up like Britain and Canada.

Is this also a republican vs democrat tolerance issue? Would republican leadership come down harder on such religious bias in the school systems?
Who controls school boards and teacher unions?
In New York State, local boards of education (on Long Island there are 127) roll up to the state Department of Education. There is virtually no oversight on NYSED.
